Studio 52 / Empire Music Studios

We have visited Empire Music Studios a few times now to see some pretty amazing shows. Paul is a great host and organizer. The food and wine selection is always excellent, and the venue is state of the art. We recently saw Stars re record their Paradise album from the 1970’s and they didn’t dissapoint. Thanks Paul for another amazing concert.

We went to the Stars album recording. It was such a great and unique experience. Great communication leading up to the event. We felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The food was great and there was plenty of it. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely go back. Well done to everyone.

Spent a fabulous evening at the Empire studios last night. Stars recorded a full version of their Paradise album after a terrific set of new songs. As always, the band was in top form.
Paul and staff at the Empire should be congratulated for the fine food, service and presentation of the venue itself. Paul was a gracious host and the evening was terrific. I recommend you visit sometime soon. We will be back.

Fantastic studios and venue. Saw the Joe Cocker show and it was outstanding! Incredibly talented musicians, sounds was fantastic, overall the night was great. I loved the intimate sit down experience. Will be back for another show.

Had an absolutely fantastic night at the recent "Stars" gig. Brilliant gig. Amazing venue. Fantastic food.
Will definitely be back again 😁😁😁

Empire Music Studios was the perfect venue to host the Chillin' in Banyule launch. Paul has an inviting, professional event venue within an impressive recording facility. It was so great to see it buzzing with local musicians and music lovers. And cracker performances! A great night.

Wow what a cool place! Loved the venue, the studio, the food and bubbles and the band was awesome as usual. Thanks Paul and co for a fab night and easy interactions and booking process. See you in a couple of weeks. Cheers Karen

Paul and staff went out of their way with communication prior to event, were terrific last night at the show helping us organise uber back to town and charging our phones.
On arrival we were greeted and made feel most welcome and witnessed the same treatment to other guest on arrival and through the show.
We made the mistake of eating prior to the show not realizing how well this show was catered for ( food in abundance).
The show and sound was amazing Mick and band just gave and gave privileged to have witnessed it.
Thank you Paul and staff

8 of us went to the Stars recording of the Paradise album. None of us have stopped talking about the venue. The sound and the excellent food. Thanks Paul and the staff.

The best show in town! The artists, venue, food and show were outstanding, and we will be back for more. Best talent and voices ever! Thank you for such a memorable experience we shared with friends.

Went to Empire Studios to see a Fleetwood Mac tribute show called Fleetwood Max which I knew would be a more intimate setting than any gig I go to. What I didn't expect was the preshow canapes of sliders, fish and chips, calamari along with a $25 drink card then on our table a cheese platter along with another platter of canapes before the band went on for their first set. Then before the second set a plate of mini desserts was bought to all tables. That along with the great show put on by Fleetwood Max made it a fantastic night enjoyed by my wife and I. Would definitely come again for other shows in the future if they played there. Mega kudos to Paul and his staff for putting on a great event. Thanks guys 👌👌👌

What a fabulous venue this is for recording a live performance. Paul, Trevor and the whole crew are very professional in looking after the musicians and the guests.

Outstanding night out. Surpassed my expectations which were already high. Great venue for this show. Enjoyed it immensely, and what talented musicians. Brilliant.

I was fortunate to see the Stars last night at Empire Music Studios and was blown away by their setup. Great sound, great staff and service. Will be back for sure.

What a great venue. The atmosphere and acoustics were great. I'll definitely come to more gigs at Empire.

We had a great night at Studio 52
Piano Men concert. The venue is fabulous with plenty of room, plenty of free parking and great facilities.
We had great quality food and a good selection of beverages. The actual show was excellent and the Yamaha Piano just divine. Looking forward to see what shows are coming in 2023 as we are happy to come to studio 52 instead of going into the city. Overall a great fun night with great entertainment.

We attended a couple of functions at Studio 52, really impressed with their new look and facilities, classy! Plenty of upright & grand pianos in the studio for recording & some fun time.

Catering food was amazing, lots of variety and plenty!

The performances at studio was very high standard, we enjoyed thoroughly! Highly recommend if you're looking for a place of entertainment with your friends!

Fabulous venue and hosts - not to mention the amazing talent performing! Thank you for a great time.

I loved the experience of recording here. Incredible facilities, spaces to hang and amazing recording spaces for different options. Studio manager Paul Higgins is always helpful while in-house engineer Trevor Carter gets a great sound straight up. The pure-path monitoring set up they have created makes live tracking a joy. Highly recommended for jazz players, large ensembles, strings and orchestras. They have host of great sounding pianos , the list goes on!

had a great night , soul chisel great high energy band. thanks studio 52 for a awsome experience, thanks David
